Nine Out Of Ten Dentists Recommend You Avoid This Scent; The 10th Dentist Is Anosmic
Originally written on May 6, 2012:

Nanette Lepore’s eponymous fragrance reminds me of Daisy’s backwoods cousin. Certainly, Marc Jacob’s Daisy is not a scent I would associate exclusively with the 1% but while there is some level of class and refinement with Daisy, NL is a Pabst Blue Ribbon-swilling downhome gal in cute pink velour sweats. NL is actually very similar to Daisy: both have candied fruits, strong violets, and fluffy roses. Both are strong and long-lasting but the similarities end there; NL dries down to a sweet sandalwood with hints of vague fruit cocktail and generic flowers.

Analogous to my assessment of NL’s Shanghai Butterfly to D&G’s Light Blue, this is a cost-conscientious rendition of Daisy but definitely not a replacement for it. Sticklers for bottles will fall in love with its tchotchke design or hate it immensely. Since I have both NL and Daisy—and prefer Daisy—I keep NL more for its bottle than for its juice.

Shaking my damn head on September 18, 2023:

There was a period in the early 10's when Nanette Lepore fragrances glutted the discounter market. I worked in the cosmetics department at a department store so I had access to the latest new scents on the market. I don't recall ever seeing any of these scents outside of Marshall's/TJ Maxx/Ross/Burlington. I was taken with the cutesy pink bottle, along with Shanghai Butterfly's mint green flacon. The price was right, the bottle was cute, the scent...?

I hated this. It was sweet. Imagine store-bought sugar cookies dipped in corn syrup, which was mixed with aspartame. Now make that 100 times sweeter. Oh, and splash some cranberry cocktail on top of all that. Garnish that hot mess with some violet and rose hard candies. That was my recollection of Nanette Lepore. I hated it more with each wearing. It gave me a migraine and three cavities every time I wore it. I'm pretty sure it stole $20 from my wallet for good measure.

I don't take pleasure in seeing the discontinuation of a perfume. This is an exception. Goodbye and good riddance.

Upon first sniff I thought "Oh my goodness! This smells like one of my childhood toys!" so in a way it kicked off my epic search for more 'dolly' fragrances. A fruit punch surrounded by roses, and this punch is a peach-lime-cranberry combination. Wearing this makes me want to don a pink cashmere sweater and use phrases like "Golly gee". It's so happy and young, almost retro. Fresh, girl next door impression with great lasting power.

This really does smell like J'adore to me. I'm not really a huge fan of J'adore so it goes without saying that I'm really not a fan of this either. I find it to be a heavy and thick fragrance. The bottle is very cute though.

Cute is the word
Soft, gentle, and discreet are words that spring to mind upon smelling it.
It certainly lives in a universe of Pink with a capital P.

The bottle is in harmony with the perfume it contains, both due to its roundness, and because it's as cute as a button.
Rose is the predominant note. A rose perfectly suited to summertime, as it offers both lightness and freshness.

It's not a complex, neither demanding, nor particularly interesting fragrance for that matter, but it would make a nice little gift for a young woman, or an older one who hasn't quite grown up.

I don't think I really like this. Just a bunch of different notes that don't mesh. I may give it to our daughter. I think she likes it.
